Very first paragraph for starters.

Old movies….

Second paragraph

This was supposed to obvious about upcoming stuff, what’s relevant about current projects….?

A short read further:

Th is paragraph more reads past tense, how does this say he has new movies coming out without prior knowledge…?

I read the article, clearly you didn’t and are conflating articles or are bringing prior knowledge it and making connections.

Its okay to be wrong….

Beverly Hill Cop: Axel F is a brand new movie and is a sequel to previous BHC movies.

That being said, I agree with you. Nothing about this article indicates that he was being humorous. If this were a video interview, there would be context. So if he was being a goof with a print interviewer, then that interviewer should have described him as such:

"He wasn't a fan of ordinary life. 'No one told me they loved me and I had to wait in line for coffee...it sucked!', he quipped tongue-in-cheek about the experience."

Something like that. Not indicating the attempt at humor just makes him sound like an asshole.

Plus, articles like this get run by a star's publicist before they are printed. I am surprised Kevin Bacon's PR person didn't pick up on this.
